Hi Southseas.I use the PT 350 tester. Generally there are 2 of us testing over night. I now find the quickest way is to have the second person filling out labels, as well as fetching and carrying. Without having to wait for the electronics to print on the T&T, I have found I can test 10% more per hour. I do have other issues with T&T labels, Both pass and fail look too similar in my opinion, discolouration with minimal heat, and lastly, durability.hope this clears things up.Graeme

Thanks Graeme, trying get a feel for what sort of speed can be achieved with the Apollo and Elite printer. I use an assistant too, certainly helps keep the numbers up.

Have you tried using a standard label, and thermal ribbon with an Elite? that should solve the blackening issue, I use clear/coloured overlays which help to keep my tags looking clean and crisp, and can be used to emphasis failed items.

Hi SouthseasNot sure what you are talking about when you mention: "Have you tried using a standard label, and thermal ribbon with an Elite? that should solve the blackening issue, I use clear/coloured overlays which help to keep my tags looking clean and crisp, and can be used to emphasis failed items".Surely if the label is printed by way of heat, any heat will distort the label, ie darkening?
